Apparently, John Mayer could be in some serious trouble, as he's somehow been brought into a massive lawsuit over a $100 million Ponzi scheme in Seattle…and he could be holding almost $500,000 of dirty money!

Earlier this year, Darren Berg was sentenced to 18 years in prison for screwing investors out of serious money through his company.

Trustees have now been given the responsibility of attempting to recover all of the missing millions, and in the process, have reportedly uncovered that the SINGER is one of the individuals who received funds from the scheme when a booking agency, Grabow & Associates, was paid by the company!

And although there's no clear answer as to how he works into this mess, he and the agency may have close to $465,000 of the missing millions!

Mayer's lawyer asserts:

"John Mayer performed at a corporate event in 2008 and was paid for his services. The opportunity was brought to John through his talent agency, CAA.”

Ah…and slowly it all seems to fall into place!

That stinks, though! Especially because he seems to only be LOOSELY associated by extension!

Here's hoping that that's his only involvement in all of this craziness, and that the money can be returned to its proper owners!

Re: yu yu – What the hell are you talking about? He didn't cheat anybody. He got paid for work by a company who didn't know they got paid by a crook. And people might hate that he's dated some famous women but he didn't cheat on any of them. Every one of them was a consenting adult woman who fell in love with him and still love him. They all have only good things to say about him. Even Perez here has never gotten over being kissed by him, lol. Get off the phony Mayer hating bandwagon. He can't help it if he's a babe magnet. Geez. Go listen to his NPR interview where he talks about his mistakes and then move on.

Re: yu yu – That is entirely false. John Mayer has never cheated on anyone. All he has done is dated 5/6 women in his whole 34 years on this planet. Absolutely ridiculous that he gets hate for that. I'm 10 years younger than him and I've dated way more women. Nobody ever gives me crap for it.

But now, the younger sister of Louis, Félicité Deakin (pictured above, left, with Louis), has figured out her own way to pay tribute to her mother in a very special manner, and we are SO touched by it.

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
